With al due respect to the gay community, it's really not worth the disruption this WILL cause on morale and order in the military. Do you really think it's worth going through the assimilation process just to give a very small precentage of the armed forces the "right to openly be gay and serve"? More so during a war?
Uhm hello.... not a bright move for so little a return.
Since you believe this WILL cause a disruption; can you (or the generals in the OP for that matter) point to an instance where one of our many, many allies who have already lifted this ban have seen a massive disruption?
I can, however, point to how this policy has negatively impacted our current wars by dismissing multiple Arabic translators at a time when we have fewer than half of the number needed to be effective in fighting in Arabic-speaking lands.
I'm merely asking you and others to back your assertion with facts and evidence.
We're TOLD that there will be a "disruption"; however, the evidence I find shows that there is already a disruption due to the current policy and I've not found any evidence of major disruption in any of the many militaries of our allies who have already overturned bans on Gay and Lesbian service members.
